May I ask for weird help, please?
I have a batch of issues about how I look, including that I don’t “look” like what people value as an artist.
Here are three selfies from this year; do I look like particularly like someone who might make stuff? If so any particular sort? Do I look fairly neutral in terms of not being able to guess personality or interests?

@Leucrotta Hey, in #2 you look 💯like an artist! The bandana, the headtilt, the backpack, the glasses. It's a good look for you. And the fact that you carry around filled sketchbooks with things you actually drew is more of what makes you an artist than any image presentation. But I'm not the best husky to ask, cause I know you already. And your art rocks., BTW.
@kelseyhusky thanks! Peggy points out that it’s where the taste in clothes suggests more of a personality. So far every answer I’ve gotten challenges my fear I don’t look the part somehow!
@Leucrotta I think that's a good thing! Cause if you hear it enough times, you might start believing it!
@Leucrotta You look like an artist, because the artists I know look like everything under the sun. :)
@Leucrotta to be totally honest, in my experience the people who look the most like artists are people who put most of their energy into *looking like artists*, rather than into *doing actual art*. they can be a lot of fun at parties or great conversationalists (or incredible downers and a pain in the ass to hang out with, depending on their idea of what an artist should behave like), but when you ask what they've done or what they're working on it's all vague ideas. :P
@Leucrotta on the other hand, most artists I've known tend to hit a point of either finding a personal style they like and going with it, or utterly abandoning all interest in how they look in favor of focusing on their art-work, which tends to result in people who look like artists anyway, so. XD
@Leucrotta Hrm, I don't tend to associate artists with a "look." Artists can come in pretty much any meat-hardware configuration imaginable, I find
